CEPD waives parking fees at Alison Hagerup Beach Park

August 27, 2018

Parking fees at the Alison Hagerup Beach Park are being waived through Sept. 10.

The Captiva Erosion Prevention District reported that the action is consistent with the Town of Fort Myers Beach, Lee County Parks and Recreation Department and city of Sanibel, all which have waived fees to assist businesses impacted by red tide.

Lee County has contracted with CrowderGulf to clean the beaches.

Since Aug. 25, Alison Hagerup Beach Park had been closed to the public as the county used it as a necessary staging area for workers and equipment. Crews were expected to be completed by the end of business today, at which point the park will reopen to visitors.

The CEPD will continue to monitor the beaches and inform the public when the fees are reactivated.
